Vernaccia Nera

Vernaccia Nera is a black grape variety, probably originating in the Marche region, historically linked to the province of Macerata and, in particular, to the areas of Serrapetrona, Belforte del Chienti and San Severino Marche. Its cultivation and the processing of its grapes have been documented since at least the 15th century; in the 20th century, the revival of the variety went hand in hand with the resurgence of local viticulture, culminating in the recognition of the appellation in 1971 and the DOCG status in 2004.

From an ampelographic point of view, it has medium-sized, orbicular leaves, generally five-lobed, with a variable petiole sinus. The bunch is medium-sized and cylindrical-conical, whilst the berry, of medium size, is round or slightly sub-round, with a firm, black-purple skin and a moderate amount of bloom. The main growing area remains the hilly and mountainous hinterland of Macerata, where the vineyards occupy sunny, well-ventilated slopes.

The wine displays hues ranging from ruby to garnet, with aromas of ripe red fruits, roses, wilted flowers and sweet spices. On the palate, it is fresh and supple, with good structure and a characteristic, pleasantly bitter finish. In still and more concentrated versions, it can develop significant complexity with ageing. The most notable oenological curiosity is the production of Vernaccia di Serrapetrona, a red sparkling wine also made from grapes that have undergone drying, following a complex fermentation process.
